Do you have foot pain?

Do you have foot pain?
In my practice I treat a lot of people who are suffering with plantar fascitis. PF is a common condition that can be effectively treated by conservative interventions. The results of this study demonstrate that the integrative use of acetic acid iontophoresis in combination with active rehabilitation… (stretch/strength programs, theraband and balance board exercises), ultrasound, mechanical control
of the foot with taping and orthotics, joint mobilization/manipulation and soft tissue therapies is more effective than the limited approach of just one method. The use of multiple therapies is required to resolve the effects of tissue adaptation due to chronic inflammation while improving musculoskeletal abnormalities and biomechanical imbalances. This integrative approach in the conservative management of chronic plantar fascitis resulted in the resolution of symptoms and a high degree of patient satisfaction within 6 weeks of treatment.
